Soc De Decolletage Et Mecanique

What they make

According to their website, SDM (SOC DE DECOLLETAGE ET MECANIQUE) is a family-owned precision bar-turning and mechanical machining company in Marignier, Haute-Savoie. Its roots go back to 1989, when Laurent Gomez founded a mechanical business for transfer-machine secondary operations while his brother Louis separately started SDM for high-volume screw-machined parts; the two merged into today's SDM in 1992. It operates three workshops totaling 5,900 m², including a 3,200 m² site acquired in 2020-2021. SDM turns technical parts from 2 to 600 mm in diameter in medium and long series, using CNC sliding-headstock lathes (Citizen, Manurhin, Star) for bar stock 2-42 mm, fixed-headstock lathes (Biglia, BND, Haas, Okuma) for 8-80 mm bar and tube, and a 5-axis Mazak Integrex 400 T center, with about 99% of parts finished complete on the machine. It machines steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, bronze and plastics, with secondary operations including deburring, engraving, heat treatment, coating and assembly. SDM runs its own quality control department, is ISO 9001 certified since 2009, and serves marine, medical, automotive, agricultural, aerospace/defense, household appliance, nuclear and petrochemical industries.
